Comparing Fractions with the Same Denominator

4th Grade•25 minutes

Learning Objective

I can compare fractions with the same denominator using symbols.

A number line is a tool that can be used to compare fractions by placing them on the line.

When fractions have the same denominator, the fraction with the larger numerator is the greater fraction.
